Title:
Cups prompts for authorization on a network printer even though it is
not required
Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Binary package hint: cups
Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release: 9.10
cups:
Installed: 1.4.1-5ubuntu2
Candidate: 1.4.1-5ubuntu2

What I expected to happen: Printing to a network printer without being asked
for authorization
What actually happened: Authorization was requested when trying to print to
the network printer
The printer in question is on a Windows XP machine and is accessed
through a Samba share.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install a Samba shared printer that does not require authorization by
going to System->Administration->Printing
2. On the wizard screen under Authorization leave the default setting,
"Prompt user if authentication is required"
3. Print and be prompted for authorization
Details:
I get asked for authorization with every print. I can leave the
password blank or put anything at all in the username and password
fields and the document will print. It shows up as "Guest" user on
the XP machine.
Workaround:
I tried changing the setting for the authorization to guest with no
password but the change did not persist. This seems to be another bug
which I will file separately. I got rid of the prompt by deleting and
recreating the printer and setting the username to "guest" and leaving
the password blank under authorization.
